actually don't eat bananas. they cause swelling in the circulatory system because of the potassium.

hydrate, I would have said eat a banana also but apparently not? Definitely drink water.

? You need to eat a crap ton of them for them to do that. A banana a day keeps the cramps away!

Bananas for sure. I would wake up during my freshman year of college because of terrible calf cramps and I would just eat like 3 or so bananas the next day and everything was fine. Monkey's are on top of their shit.

Stretch fairly regularly. I found that helps the cramps stay away for me.

Peanut butter is also an alternative to bananas.

Hydrate. You can also soak in a bath with 2 cups of epsom salt and some baking soda to help.

Just a good amount of water before and after you work out should do it.

its all about hydration man. Then eat some bananas or mustard. But hydration is the key. I got these gnarly cramps in both calfs after playing water polo and it was some of the worst pain that I have experienced and it was all because I didn't stretch after my activity and lack of water.

First, you have to stop being such a goddamn pussy. Man-up, there is more to life than complaining about your muscle cramp problems on the internet. Get out there, get on your skateboard, smoke some of that wacky tobbacky with your homies while listening to Wiz Kalifa and talking about your new LA kings snapback. Eat more broccoli, masturbate 1-2 times a week and do 14 jumping jacks a day.

This is definitely not internet bullying.

Fuck memes.

I don't know about "instant," but it does help. This is what I was going to suggest. And if I were you, I would stretch your muscles in the morning and at night.

Stay hydrated! Lots of water. Also cocoanut milk/water and bananas help a lot because of the potassium

Did you know that we peel bananas upside-down. Monkeys open them up from the bottom and this is actually the corret way. When you peel it from the bottom you dont get the stringy things and it's a perfect peel.

my dad's friend gets calf cramps constantly and he says mustard makes them disappear instantaneously. he carries a few packets of yellow mustard everywhere he goes, and as soon as he feels a cramp coming on he sucks one down and the cramp disappears instantly. after hearing about this my dad's other friend who gets foot cramps, and my moms friend who gets hand cramps, both tried it and said it worked amazingly well. Cramps are sometimes caused by a deficiency in acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter that stimulates your muscles to work. Mustard has acetic acid, which helps the body make more acetylcholine.

i gave that bitch some supporting evidence:

bitches love supporting evidence.
